Is this man so stupid to believe there haven't been other people being scared for years? Young men? He has obviously missed the ENTIRE cries for the past several years of young black men living in fear. He's obviously been oblivious to the fact women in this country have been scared for decades.

But now one of his homies (older white guy) is getting allegations against him and Trump has had his own against him (but just threatens to sue who ever dare) and it's an OMG moment for him. They're coming for US!!!! RUN!!

I do take some peace of mind that Barron is likely being taught to respect women by his mother. At least I hope. But his disconnect with the people in this nation is alarming given he's suppose to be the leader.

I agree with him. A mans career can be ruined withn a false allegation with no evidence. It is a scary time.

And a black man's life can end just as quick because he "moved" wrong. A woman's innocence, trust future can be shattered if she's not practicing her own self defense/awareness while going to a nightclub, gym or bus ride.

So welcome to the real world where you have to look over your shoulder and think about your every move because it can break you if one single person decides you didn't make the cut and they hold the power.

By virtue of the fact masculinity has been painted as toxic by mainstream culture. This has been in the works for awhile. The left's influence hasn't been attained honestly. It's been acquired through decades of propagandizing and infantilizing entire generations. They no longer see any merit to America, so tear it down, beginning with the "patriarchy."

Yeah, that sounds like a most excellent world to live in. Especially considering people are all so honest and everything.

Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population.

The increase in black homicides last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.

Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks.

In 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post. The paper categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and violent resistance to arrest.

Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.

Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.

So, let's say its about 5% in false reporting, shouldnt we see that in high profile cases too? This is an actual question to this forum because I don't know the answer, what percentage of the high profile cases have been false?

I know that Chris Hardwick was wrongly accused and initially lost all his work, but also, he wasn't accused by the woman. She wrote a glib comment on Twitter and the public overreacted. So, I don't know if that would count, since the woman didnt accuse him.

Trump saying he fears for men is just another attempt to grand stand and divide the Country because the rate of false accusations isnt rising. However, 63% of sexual assault victims don't report, so perhaps that number will go down.

Not trying to minimize your point Carl but if people live in areas where the majority of the population is a similar race - this will be the case. But to your point - this has been an issue that is discussed but nothing really has been done about in the black community.

As for Trumps point - stupid is as stupid is - its a daily thing. I understand what he is saying. But I don't think "scary" is the right word. I think there are going to be cases where somebody is wrongly accused - and thats not good.

But until wrongfully charging people is even 5% of the sexual assaults in this country - I think he was a bit over the top.

Partially correct ... but the majority of all homicides and the greatest percentage is black-on-black.

The piece indicates 7,881 black homicides in the years counted (2015-16) ... more than 89% were killed by other blacks. You can read the rest (proportions are highly lopsided) ... but in 2016, 233 black men were shot by police officers (no breakdown of black vs. white officers). Only 16 were unarmed.

Basically, if you're a young black man your chances of being killed by another black man are 50 times greater than to be killed by a cop.

Thankfully, President ***** Grabber righted the situation by making fun of Ford at his latest circle jerk...er, I mean rally.

Just in case there were any women out there who have any concerns about telling people what happened to them, they can now take solace in the knowledge a President who will publicly mock them is now appointing SCOTUS justices to determine what happens to their bodies.

Carl, why not mention that car accidents are more dangerous to black men than cops? While black on black violence is out of control and needs to be addressed, you are being disingenuous trying to deflect from the fact that cops shouldn't be killing anyone.

I'm saying the thread starter initiated this as a poke against Trump, which I don't mind because Trump is a schmuck ... but he countered with an equally false premise.

Now, does it actually empower women to believe them without question, at all times, in all matters that pertain to misdeeds committed at the hands of men - true or not?

Does that actually help anyone? Or does it just arbitrarily swing the pendulum in the other direction in the hopes of a shotgun effect --collateral damage and innocent men accused and eviscerated for crimes they didn't commit be damned, because it's fair payback for past suffering?
